Added new tire and wheel combo 27" tires with 14" rims so now there are times that the big DOT tire rub the plastic wheel well in turns with bumps, it barely comes in contact with the body, but still it a concern. Thinking of adding a 2" lift kit to hopefully take care of this problem. My question is has anybody had similar problems with big tires contacting the body and whether the lift is worth the cost. Also I run a lot of tight 50" trails in Michigan, will this lift kit only lift and not widen the wheels? Any thoughts here would be appreciated.

The lift kit will push your arms down more, thus giving you a narrower wheel width. Can do nothing but help your clearance issue, although will push that back right tire closer to the motor mount.

Nice looking ride! Don't see too many of the faster green ones that decked out. JB is right, what you gain in body clearance you lose at the motor mount. Maybe get some spacers to gain the extra 1/2" or so clearance you lose with the lift. How close is the m/m now? Could you just use a heat gun and "massage" the wheel well to get more room?

Spacers in the front will cause it to rub worse. It changes the center point for a wider steering radius. Just went through that with my own.

Maybe just use spacers in back, and heat form the wheel wells in front. Might not even need that with the lift. :think:

I run 27" ITP's on 14"ITP SS wheels. I have a 2" racertec lift with no rub problems at all. Hope this helps

Thanks Turkey Hunter, glad to hear you had no problems with the lift kit.:ride:

I have 27" Bighorns on 14" polaris sixer wheels with no rubbing problems. My tires arn't the really wide ones.

This is hands down the best lift kit on the market, the Racertech 2in kit. It is the only kit that prevents cv bind AND improves over all ride quality.

Check it out!

I have the Racertech 2"
27" bighorns.
I had to get out heat gun and move the wheele wells in a little in the front.
I still get a rub on a fast turn. No problem though.
